Lovely tour

Great experience in Oxford! I had a lovely time driving around the Thames River on a cruise boat. The trees form a picture-perfect scenery and an amazing background for your traditional English Afternoon Tea. We saw the Folly Bridge, Christ Church Meadows, and training rowing crews' punts.
